Depends. If they start with this and then use it as iterative development before going local-only as the models and hardware improve, that could be a good move.

Most non-tech "normies", which is to say 95% of the population, barely know what a browser is. They couldn't describe the function of one, or discriminate what makes one better than another. They certainly won't give

Do you deny that Ukraine has shot down Kinzhal and Zircon?

by dralley 2y ago
Patriot batteries have shot down every missile type that isn't an IRBM like Oreshnik, and those are closer to Mach 11 than Mach 5. Kinzhal and Zircon have been at least semi-reliably shot down. Iskander is very reliablly shot down. Th

I'm as frustrated as anyone about Europe not pulling their weight, but it's not in violation of the treaty. The 2% guideline has nothing to do with the treaty itself. It's precisely that, a non-binding guideline.

From Europe, it looks like Russia has spent the last decade committing assassinations and sabotages in "the West", including using chemical weapons and causing civilian casualties, has shot down airliners and lied about it, invade

We've been following the "please don't" strategy for 10 years. It doesn't seem to be working very well.

For this argument to make any sense, Russia would have to be invading and murdering less enthusiastically without the Western support. Which is nonsense.

I was assuming you were referring to the Ukrainian airliner shot down by Iran in the aftermath of the Suliemani killing, which is an actual example and not a hypothetical one.

That's basically my point. Ultimate responsibility lies with those who decided to fire a missile at a civilian airliner without doing any due diligence or applying common sense, not those who "created tension" or whatever yo

They literally used footage of one of their Iskander missiles striking a Syrian hospital in a highlight reel for the effectiveness of that missile. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sebastienroblin/2021/03/01&

If you qualify country A's actions as "starting a war" then country B had started many dozens of wars themselves in the previous decade, and subsequent one.

But there's a pretty significant diminishing return between, say, the top 80 most linked libraries and the rest.

It's actually not terribly uncommon for crashes like this to be survivable, it just comes down to how shallow the decline ends up being and whether part of the fuselage snaps off and can get away from the burning fuel.

Also if you have control issues and a forced depressurization it might be best to avoid obstructions (like the Caucasus mountains) and significant course adjustments. But from what I'm seeing the actual answer is that they were denied
